City: Oak Ridge

Brain Injury: The first injury happened while walking across the street in Johnson City, and a car hit me. The second injury occurred in a car accident.

Explanation of Mask: Adventure was waiting for me in the form of a basketball scholarship at Montreat Anderson College in North Carolina. My entire life I have tried to laugh as much as possible. I have always been adventurous, even after my injuries. I have fun being around wildlife and animals in general. Music helps me to settle down in stressful situations. Listening to country music is my own way of escaping tension and boredom. Purple is a strong color. This represents me well, because I have had to remain strong through all of my trials.
